This review is from: Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (CD-ROM)

Generals was pretty good, but this game fills in a lot of the holes. Unfortunately, what keeps it from getting a perfect score is that it opens a few new ones.

The game adds 3 sub-factions to each major faction, generals that are styled towards a certain concept. Each general gains access to special units or powers, and loses access to other units from their faction. However, the specialization usually leaves you with pretty much one way to play, and in multiplayer games, this can be fatal if you wind up with a bad match-up.

The story picks up where Generals left off and ties up nicely, but the ending of the overall story is a bit of a stretch - normal for C&C games, but bizarre for the semi-realistic setting of the Generals universe.

The graphics have changed only slightly, having become more smooth and the environments more detailed.

The between-mission cutscenes are interesting and really add to the story, but if you buy this game in the First Decade bundle, you don't get to see them.
